looks great mate. i've always wanted a hot chilli red el xr8 manual with a ticky kit. almost bought one a few years ago and regret not getting it!

also noticed this between the brake fluid reservoir and master cylinder

Seems as though the leak is coming from the seal that gets pushed in by the rod connected through the booster, undo those front nuts on the brake booster and pull of the reservoir and casing to see where its coming from.

I said it in your first thread that got deleted but I'll say it again, love it man!
The argents suit it perfectly, I wouldnt put the wing on however. Take it from another bloke with a chilli el, they're called spoilers for a reason.
